Ecodharma Sangha
Meeting monthly on the Coffs Coast for a discussion and meditation practice. Our aspiration is that this group is to create a safe community space where many diverse voices can be heard, and where ancient wisdom flows into present moment experience.
Ecodharma focuses on relationships, particularly our human earth connection from a deep understanding of interconnectedness. It is a term that has has emerged in recent times that integrates Ecology ( the study of the activity of relationships in nature that evolve over time and how they impact the health of both individuals and the system as a whole) and the ancient precious Dharma teachings of the Buddha in offering a path for repairing humanity’s relationship with ourselves, each other and the Earth. Ecodharma draws on the work of authors and teaching including Thích Nhất Hạnh, Stephanie Kaza, Joanna Macy, David Loy, Robin Wall Kimmerer, bell hooks, Dr. Michael Yellow Bird, Gary Snyder, Enrique Salmon, Robert Aitken Rōshi, and others.
